Stella Mar Oyster Company

Stella Mar Oysters, formerly known as Hemlock Oysters, will be supplying oysters to the free raw bar during Experience the Sound from 1 to 4 p.m. (or while supplies last).

The company will also have on display, at the Innis Arden Cottage Environmental Centre area one of their oyster cages which the company has recently started using. The new cages replace their old method of dredging to harvest oysters, and have greatly increased yields for their oyster farming methods. This results in larger numbers of oysters in the waters cleaning and filtering the Sound, with less disruption to the ocean bottom.
